1KMashable / 11h
Some 64 million miles from the planet, NASA's Lucy probe got a deep space view of the recent total lunar eclipse. From her vantage point, it didn't look much like a " blood moon ," one of the many nicknames for the rare astronomical event. In a brief two-second time-lapse video, Lucy captured the Earth, on the left, and the moon, on the right. The tiny moon can be seen as a bright pinpoint of lig

Down Under Put that thing back where it came from or so help me! Actually, it could all turn out okay. Scientists in China have discovered previously unknown animal and plant species lurking at the bottom of a sinkhole in in Leye County, the Guardian reported yesterday. Some brave spelunkers found the more than 1,000-foot-long and 629-foot deep sinkhole while exploring caves in the region. “I wou

I inherited a Dreo 6-Quart Air Fryer this week, and after scrambling around my kitchen for something to test it with as my first recipe, I fe

Voyager 1 NASA Strange•
1KMashable / 9h
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is sending back some funky data from interstellar space that's leaving NASA engineers scratching their heads. Readouts on the orientation of the 1970s-era space probe now appear to be randomly generated or don't reflect any possible scenario the spacecraft could be in, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory officials said this week. The problematic data are coming from the so-cal

Amelia Earhart made world headlines and set three major records 90 years ago. In May 1932, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Five years earlier, Charles Lindbergh was the first man to make that solo trip. With her solo flight, Earhart also became the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean twice.
